Skookum Bear: As the cache owner has not indicated that they have visited the cache location to replace it if it was missing, perform needed maintenance, or verify that it is still there within a reasonable amount of time, I am regretfully archiving the cache to clear it from the active cache database and open the area to new caching opportunities.

Geocache Description:

The Qualicum Beach Historical Museum may be small but it has a lot to offer the curious.

It is housed in a small power generating station and chronicles the history of Qualicum with a fascinating collection of objects displayed in period settings. It also features a grand mural by local artists depicting the early days of Qualicum, with an extensive archive of local historical documents and photograpphs.

Another feature of the museum is that it houses the finest collection of fossils in Western Canada. The collection of over 10,000 specimens has been assembled and curated by the internationally known fossil collector Graham Beard, in conjunction with the Vancouver Island Paleontology Museum Society. Admission to the museum is by donation.

The cache is best found if you walk along the museum fence and therefore will avoid stepping on foliage or brushing under trees. It is not on the fence.

Good parking but a tremendous amount of walkers on the walking trail. Please use good stealth.

Congratulations to Stash Seekers for FTF
